Mixed feelings on these...
Phil M 06.12.2021
Firstly, the good bits. Seriously bright warm white blinders, and the only product of this type that I've been able to find (although there are a couple of other "versions" on the market that are clearly from the same factory) that has warm white available instead of cold. Remind me fondly of the old Howie Battens from back in the day, with a lovely warm glow - but with the added bonus of pixel control. Smart fixing bracket and sensible power/DMXconnection points are always good to see. With 12 segments I'd imagine you can get some nice background matrix effects going if you have several of these - although you need to have them dimmed (1/255 for me) to avoid them being too "in your face" for the audience. Very useful as a blinder bar though

Now, the bad bits...

I found the "colour" aspect of this bar next to useless and isn't something I would have made use of. To me it looked cheesy and totally out of place.

The beams (at least on the 1 of 4 that I opened) we badly aligned and looked crooked in haze and wherever the beams landed.

I only opened 1 of the 4 that I ordered and was unimpressed with the quality enough to return all without opening the other 3. The grey lens had hairline cracks emanating from the fixing points back towards the centre LED space. The edges of the lens were also rough from the injecting moulding process. Thomann feels this was shipping damage but I'm not sure. No marks on the inner box and the unit is very well packed. I'm not convinced that they would have lasted long in the gigging world, but would likely have been just fine for a fixed install somewhere out of the way.

For what it's worth, the inbuilt programmes are next to useless and can't be dimmed in any way (that I could find).

Giving them 4 out of 5 overall as I feel the size, weight, and warm-white output win out over the negatives.

Solid Fixture with downsides

I really like the Starbar 12.
The RGB Panels and the Warmwhite LEDs both have a great effect and do really upgrade any stage.
My only problem is that it automatically goes into Sound/Automode if it doesn´t receive DMX input. That is kind of annoying.
But because it is pretty cheap I would still go with 4/5 stars.

Auch als Blender einsetzbar
pcpanik 11.10.2021
Ich habe mir zwei dieser Leisten für meine 3m breite Millenium-Traverse gekauft. Sie zeigen direkt in Richtung Publikum. Die warmweißen LEDs reichen dabei durchaus als einfacher Blender-Effekt aus. Das war das, was ich mir davon in erster Linie versprochen hatte. Auch, wenn der Abstrahlwinkel sehr schmal ist, der Effekt ist gut.

Die hinter der matten Verkleidung verborgenen bunten RGB-LEDs sind reiner Effekt, ansonsten zu Schwach in der Lichtleistung.

Ich steuere die Leisten mit einem einem Thomann DMX-Joker 1024 Modul an. Daher sind die 52 Kanäle kein Problem und es ist klasse, wenn jedes Segment einzeln steuerbar ist. Das Profil musste ich allerdings erst einmal dafür erstellen.

Im 52-Kanal-Modus kann man dafür aber auch integrierte Lauflicht-Programme aufrufen und in der Geschwindigkeit variieren.

Im 9- oder 12- Kanal Modus ist der Dimmer nicht zw. Buntem Effekt und Warmweiß getrennt steuerbar. Er wirkt immer auf alles. Das sollte man wissen.


Die mitgelieferten Stromkabel mit Power-Twist Steckern sind gegenüber anderen Leuchten und Leisten mit Kaltgerätesteckern, die ich besitze, ausgesprochen kurz ausgefallen. Strom muss in unmittelbarer Reichweite vorhanden sein. Gut: es sind zwei vernünftige Safety-Ösen vorhanden.

Alle in Allem gefällt mir die Leiste und ich finde Preis und Leistung okay. Mit zwei davon kann ich schon nette Effekte Richtung Publikum gestalten und z.B. einen sich öffnenden oder schließenden Lichtvorhang mit den Warmweißen LEDs generieren.
